Funny, guess you guys are noobs ! Actually I used to fly over the AOR at much higher levels in the 135 and had no idea, but in the Herc, I'm a little closer to the action. There are guys flying all sorts of goofball airplanes over there...they typically seem to gravitate toward the C130 and try to run into us all the time (I think it's a gravity thing).

Two things for everyone...look up In-lieu of taskings and brief your troops that they signed up for the military not the AF when they are told to go drive in an Army convoy. Also, look at the VSP, Palace Chase, etc and realize no mobility pilots are eligible for any of the force shaping programs. Funny...although we've always been told AMC is overmanned all of the sudden we're not able to get out under any force shaping program.
